25 Great Things You Can Do for Lent - Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the 40 days of preparation for the Easter season when Christians are called to deepen their spiritual lives through the practices of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. The belief is that our consistent participation in these practices — like exercise we do for our physical health — improves our spiritual well-being by stripping away all that is unnecessary and becoming more mindful of how God is working in our lives. Challenge yourself this year, and go beyond the usual practice of “giving up” something. Now is a great time to take stock of your spiritual life and to grow in it. Not sure where to start? Check out these 25 ideas. (Busted Halo)
Lenten Prayers and Retreats Prayer is a way we can deepen our relationship with God, especially during Lent. The resources on this page provide you with uniquely personal ways to connect with your faith during Lent.

USCCB LENTEN PRAYER RESOURCES
Lectio Divina for Lent Lectio Divina is a form of meditation rooted in liturgical celebration that dates back to early monastic communities. It involves focused reading of Scripture (lectio), meditation on the Word of God (meditatio), contemplation of the Word and its meaning in one's life (contemplatio) and ends with prayer (oratio). For this Lent, we will have a Lectio Divina resource for the readings for Ash Wednesday and the Sundays of Lent that can be used by individuals or in group settings.
TASK 2-INITIATING INTO THE CELEBRATION OF THE MYSTERY - Recognize and experience the presence of Christ and enter into communion with Him through active, full, and conscious participation in the Church's liturgical celebrations and sacraments.
